The Gardens Race 2

Bishop Collins Masters

Prize Money: $2,335

GO SPIRIT (4) produced a modest effort most recently when eighth at Gosford over 388m behind Why Not Me (23.29) in a Grade 5. Was in the money the start prior. Better than the latest effort and deserves another chance. RITZA ROCKER (6) flew the lids with a sensational early split and hit the frame with a 2.25 lengths second (23.34) over 400m at this track. Has never missed the frame from four starts from this draw, including a win. Leading player again. ZIPPING SEVERUS (1) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing sixth (23.60) last time in a Mix 1/2/3 at this track. Has performed well from this box with a win and four minor placings to his name from 10 starts. Will give the top chances plenty to think about. SONGAR PEARL (2) was out of the frame here most recently but can atone.

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.60) in a Mix 1/2/3, finishing a 11 length sixth. Goes well out of this box with a win and four minors. Looks a key chance on best form.

Returns from a five months spell after being tipped out on the back of a minor placing (20.10) over 340m at Bulli. Has been in the minors both fresh up starts. Looks tested and others preferred this time.

Comments

Didn't make the placings last time at this track (23.57) in a Mix 2/3, finishing a 5.5 lengths fourth. Still a maiden from the draw but has placed three times. Tough line-up and may struggle.
